so how do I know if I'm saved? Do I have to be perfect?
Noone is perfect, no not one (romans 3:10), thats why God sent Jesus to save the world. Jesus is our righteousness.
Where do you find these unbliblical crap websites?
David was "a man after Gods own heart". (acts 13:22)
And when He had removed him,
He raised up for them David as king,
to whom also He gave testimony and
said, 'I have found David the son of
Jesse, a man after My own heart,
who will do ALL My will.'
God is in control, don't worry Organa! But do try to avoid those stupid scare mongering websites, they are all about power, control and money.

There's your answer, Andromeda.
1 Tim 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God,
who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe..
Work on taking your eyes of yourself and what you NEED TO DO,
and start looking at Him and what He has already DONE.
It is finished.
:HeartThrob:
When you believe it... then you start to understand the "especially" part of that verse. :icon_flower:
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; Ephesians 3:8
So if God provides you with the faith to do the following, what does it say happens? YOU WILL BE SAVED.
that if you confess with your mouth Jesus as Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved; Romans 10:9
Whosoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved, Romans 10:13.
God's blessing, James.

Adro I have 3 questions for you:
a] Was Jesus perfect?
b] Is Jesus in Heaven?
c] Did a man, woman, or child with equal perfection ever exist?
I assume your answers are yes, yes, no.
That would mean no human is in Heaven. All are in hell. Jesus wasted His time. He lied to the thief at the cross.
No none can live up to the standards set in the Bible. A bit of grace goes a long way :=)

You remind me of myself about 30 years ago. I was really terrified of not being saved. It haunted me. I sure do wish you could be delivered from your tormentors because I don't think you are faking it when you post these things that trouble you. God has the power to deliver you, but you have to want to be delivered and be willing to TURN away from your unbelief - stop embracing all the negativity - stop focusing on fearful things - bring your thoughts captive the obedience of Christ. I trust you have read the New Testament. You should probably spend a good amount of time with your nose in 1John, Ephesians, and Galatians. Read in there about fighting the good fight of faith and how to put the devil to flight. Read about how the enemy is after your MIND. If you do not get angry with Satan - you will continue to let him torment you. Stop it! You have to fight. You have no choice!
